When Blaise came home, he banged on Danielle’s door.

She opened it, wearing one of his old t-shirts. “What’s wrong?” she asked immediately.

He stared at her. “I know I promised I would keep all of this a secret, but I need to break that promise.”

Her eyes widened. “What are you talking about?”

“There’s this girl…I want to tell her so she knows there’s nothing going on between us.”

Danielle glared at him. “Absolutely not.”

“Why not?”

“I’m sure your bimbo will tell anyone and everyone. Evan will know I’m here and he’ll know we aren’t together anymore. You know what that makes me? Dead. And you don’t need to tell her anything if you’re just sleeping with her.” Her eyes saddened as she looked at him, the jealousy evident.

“It’s not like that,” he said. “I really like her and I want this to go somewhere. I shouldn’t have asked her out until I figured out how to fix this situation, but the damage is done. Please let me tell her.”

“No.”

He clenched his fists. “I’ll just tell her anyway.”

“Fine,” she said. “But I’ll deny all of it. And to make it worse, I’ll tell everyone we are still together. You’ll look like a cheating asshole.”

His eyes lit up in flames. “You fucking bitch. I’ll throw you out right now.”

She put her hands on her hips and stared him down. “Do it. I dare you.”

Blaise took a deep breath.

“Kick me out. We’ll see how long it takes until he tracks me down. And when I’m lying in the hospital, broken or dead, you can thank yourself for that. You can watch my mother cry over me and all my friends stare at you with hatred.”

Blaise punched the wall, bruising his knuckles. He couldn’t let anything happen to Danielle, to any girl. It violated his code of ethics. Hurting an innocent woman was unforgivable. He couldn’t be so selfish by abandoning her.

“That’s what I thought.”

He gripped his hair in frustration. “So it’s official. You never loved me? You’ve been using me this entire time?”

Danielle’s eyes sagged. “No, absolutely not.”

He shook his head.

“Blaise, I love you. We should get back together. I’m sorry that I’ve been a nuisance to you, but I can change. We already live together. Let’s make it work.”

“I’m not going to love the one I’m with,” he snapped.

“If you pursue anyone else, it’s just going to be complicated.”

“No it won’t,” he said. “I’ll figure out a way to move on while protecting you at the same time.”

She crossed her arms over her chest. “Do you have any ideas?”

“Yes. I could just tell her the truth and she would understand. If she loved me, she’d work it out with me.”

“Well, I don’t want anyone to know. It’s my life on the line. I can’t trust someone I don’t know.”

“Then you can meet her,” he said.

She glared at him. “I have no interest in meeting one of your bimbos.”

“She’s not a bimbo! She’s an amazing girl.”

“Danielle rolled her eyes. “I’m sorry, Blaise. But I won’t change my mind.
